My dog makes a strange noise through his nose. Is it a reverse sneeze?

Question

Charlie has been blwong through his nose since yesterday. It’s not quite like a sneeze and I don’t see any fluid or anything abnormal in his nose. Is it possible that he got a cold or something? Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Male | neutered | 2 months and 7 days old | 22 lbs

Poor Charlie! Look up a YouTube video of a “reverse sneeze” to see if this is what he is doing. If so, this is nothing to worry about and you can Help him stop by rubbing him from head to tail. Sometimes Benadryl on a regular basis will help decrease the frequency. See link below. If this isn’t what he is doing then I would have your vet look at him. With him being so young, he could have a viral infection or an upper respiratory infection which needs to be treated. If left untreated he could get worse. If unsure, take a video with you when you go to the vet as this will help with the diagnosis. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
